does anyone know if i can give another function to the green "call" button on the xda II ??
I would like to reassign it to neuvoice's navigator, because i have a hcb-30 handsfree carkit, and i supppose when i re-assign the button on the phone, i would be able to start the handsfree function on my carkit by pressing the "phone" button on it...
i have tried several "button relocators", but they all just work for the other buttons (calender, contacts, etc...), not for the red and green button... :roll:
anyone ???? :?

The end-user answer is 'There is no way'. If you're a techie, the answer is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3665
What is the action you usually take on your device? I guess tapping Ok/Close button.
It's smart to assign this action to an hardware button. But for almost PPC Phone Edition WM2K3, there are only 4 hardware buttons can be re-assigned by users and you dont wanna waste any button to simulate Ok/Close button.
Now, you can use the red phone button to do that beside its original function. It means: if you're having a phone call or a GPRS connection, pressing the red button will hang it up, if not, simulate Ok/Close button. I know that on some devices (e.g: XDA Mini...), the red phone button is used to quick minimize running applications also (e.g: you're opening Inbox Options, press the red button will go to Today screen directly without closing Inbox Options). I don't like this feature at all. I prefer using it to simulate Ok/Close button. So I've developed the tiny utility named "Red Button Remap". It has no GUI, no registry read/write. It has 2 files (total size ~11KB). It's just install then soft reset.
This utility is very useful for me so I posted here for someone like it.
I wrote it for my XDA Mini. I'm not sure about other device but it should work properly on WM2K3SE (phone edition only).
Red Button Remap version 0.1 beta:
- Re-map the red phone button on some WM2K3 phone edition devices to simulate Ok/Close button (REMEMBER: SIMULATION means it does nothing without the Ok/Close button appearance).
Will this work with WM5?
Can I assign a file to the red button instead of Ok/Close?
Thanks,

Sorry, I dont know much about WM5 and I have no WM5 to test. It may not work on WM5. However, you can test.
i installed it, hoping it might fix my PocketNester problem, but the software doesn't seem to have modified anything in my system. the Red button works as usually, i.e. it takes me back to the 'Today' screen.
msafi: what is your nester problem?

Pls read the program introduce again.
Pressing Red button will simulate Ok/Close button like tapping Ok/Close button (at top-right conner) by stylus. So Red Button Remap does not concern "real close" or "minimize" running apps.
I don't think that Red Button Remap conflicts with Pocket Plus. Could you explain in detail?

ah ! ok
is possible forze the application close (when i press the red button) or that is impossible?
in my opinion this capability is more useful...

That's possible. I'm trying develop the next updated allowing "single press" to simulate Ok/Close, "press n hold" (or "double press") to stop running app.
hi,
i have try to install and use your app another try...
but i not sure what's the difference of the redbtn function.
in ocasions the redbtn click minimizes the app's (example: calculator, configuration plug-ins...), but in other ocasions, the application is not minimized (example: message boxes or superalert config app).
the same occurs if your application is running or not...
my phone is s100 and i use with pocket plus (with the x button click configured to close apps)...
thank's
On my Magican it closes two windows (if there are opened 4 windows after RedButton remains only 2) :-(

Or try to install HButton (from this website, or http://hbutton.pavlicek.org )
You'll be able, i think, to do whatever you want (an more )
thank you for your responses,
i tried hbutton and i liked it but just for curiousities sake does anyone no how to do it by hand through registry edits?
Okay, I can see that I can assign long-press Send and End keys, but I want to assign a function to the Back key (short press) - can it be done?
since i come from trinity - which had the scrolling wheel - I'd like to replace the volume buttons with "almost equivalent" functionality....possible at all? don't know...
I'm not sure that Volume slider has been mappable on any of these devices. Previously I used SPB PocketPlus to map buttons, but on the HD the poplists in the setup don't work so I can't try it...
I am currently using AEBPlus to assign the buttons.I was able to map volume up, volume down and ok buttons to various functions.But unfortunately I am unable to map the HOme button.Can anyone let me know how to assign some functions for HOme button using AEBPlus please?
regards
vijay
Brilliant! AE Button Plus works perfectly, OK=Back. I love this site...

You don't need to ask the same question wherever you go and also create a thread for that!
ok
i see what you mean. I just figured it might not get read if here at the end of an older thread... hehe you mods notice everything ;-)
Can someone tell me if AEBPlus could reassign the phone on and off buttons too? I would like to use these buttons for other purposes and just use the screen to operate the phone, if possible.

Could you explain how to configure to apply to on off button.
Aside from that, does someone know how to get "long" working?
It tried to give the "Back arrow" additional functions.
1,2,3 times work fine, but long does not.
Also what is the default action of "Back arrow"
I do not find it on the list? Which number
So I could configure 1 times with default action
and 2 and 3 with something else.
Home button on AE plus
Has anyone found the home button "name" in AU Button plus yet?
This thread mentioned the name for the "back"-button is "OK" in AE button plus and that does work. (except foor the long press option, that I could not get to work, but double tap works fine)

pzucchel, I'm with you! I've realised that I actually used the scroll wheel on the Trinity much more than the D-pad, so AE buttons is a godsend!
I've got volume up/down to become arrow up/down, but how about the Trinity press-to-select on the scroll wheel? I can't get the long press on the vol buttons to work otherwise it'd be perfect...
What version of AEBPlus are you using?
I installed AEBPlus 2.6.3 to enable turning the screen while pressing the volume up button.
This version is a 14 day trail version, there is however a freeware 1.0.1 version but that one is not officialy supporting the Blackstone.
Which version are you using? I find $14 a lot for changing the behaviour of one key...
AEButton will NOT stop working after 14 days, and all the functions you really want will still be there
What is the difference between trial and registered version?
Two things only:
1. Splash screen appears during device starting up.
2. "Action list" is blocked in trial mode

Good to know! Didn't see that when reading the website...
Anyway - is there an easy trick to assign the "volume up" pressed for >1 sec to rotating the screen to landscape (270 deg) and portrait?
/me is thinking of a registry tweak...
I just got a Touch HD and installed AE Button Plus and it works great for assigning different tasks for the button below the screen.
However I have not been able to find a which button in AE Button (if any) that corresponds to the Home button. Has anyone else here been able to assign any tasks to double-clicking the Home button?

OK, I can see that you want to push your own solution but as far as I can see it does not support the Home button either. Also it supports a lot fewer actions than AE Button Plus does.
Hi guys,
im wanting to remap the panel button, I never use it and miss a button to show the today screen like that on the diamond.
In the start menu is a link to show it, so I assume it must have some exe somewhere, does anyone know where?
Or how to write a quick exe which will do the job?
i know the reg key to change it to is here:
HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\ApplicationName
cheers
Pressing the hangup button shortly does exactly that.
hangup button? for showing the today screen I press the "OK" Button
